How is there no option to remove previous devices? My list has become so disorganised with devices and installations that I no longer have. Edit: The link the developer responded with shows you that you can remove devices you still have access too by signing out of the app. I don't have my old devices. It is completely ridiculous that the app has no way of being able to manually remove old devices.

Convenient app but needs improvement. I am working with 3 monitors and even if I move the app to the left monitor opens when someone calls, always to the center and sometimes won't open at all and I cannot answer the call. And if opens I cannot then click to my notifications. It's blocking them. I have my phone connected with Bluetooth also.

it was really good when I had my other phone s20 I used to be able to copy and paste texts from my phone on to my laptop. but now that I've linked my new phone s25 ultra, it no longer syncs correctly. I'm no longer able to copy and paste the text from my phone onto to documents on laptop anymore. if I'm missing something. I'd love to know how I can rectify this.

Thank you for your feedback. Can you confirm if the "cross-device copy and paste" feature is turned on? You can do so by going to Phone Link > Settings > Features > Additional Settings > Cross Device Copy and Paste and toggle this feature on if you haven't already done so. Please let us know if this resolves your issue.
